If you wanted proof that vaccination is working...
For the first day in FIVE AND A HALF months, my Medical Registrar daughter is not wearing scrubs today and is returning to her normal Care of the Elderly duties.
7 busting at the seams Covid-19 wards are now down to 2 and they haven't had a new 80+ year old patient with Covid-19 admitted for a week and a half.

I was a bit cocky yesterday - feel like shit today with aching back and legs - numb left arm - head ache - snuffles and a temperature.
Hopefully will just be today.

Funny how clearer the mind is at 9am. :P I was awake 1am-4am last night - rotten nights sleep. Good point about pub gardens for older folk. That's the thing I like about this forum - people open your mind a bit further. By time April comes, most people over 50 will have been vaccinated I think won't they?

Yes, hope the highest risk groups will have had first jab well ahead of 12 April, though risk in pub gardens minimal by then, and all adults by the time we can go indoors.

I agree about the forum being a great place for diverse and (mostly) respectful opinions, although I only joined Blue Moon originally so I could get called a c**t.

UK press reports suggest 50% of French care workers have turned down the vaccine.

These reports are not always accurate but I believe it based on their overall progress. Hard to understand how you end up making those choices.

I read similar about UK health workers, something like 25% not taking.

I couldnt really fathom why that would be.
